Recipe - The Best Hamantaschen In The World

1 md Seedless orange
2 Eggs
Three fourths cup Sugar
One half cup Oil
2 teaspoon Baking powder
3 cup Flour
Jam or other fillings

Cut the orange into quarters and pulverize it in your food processor until
finely chopped. Add the eggs, sugar and oil, and process for about 10
seconds. Add the baking powder and flour and process with several on/off
turns, just until the flour is blended into dough. It will be slightly
sticky, but that's OK. Cut the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, and work with just
one lump at a time.

Roll the dough out on a wellfloured board to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Using a cookie cutter (or a glass, like I'm sure Auntie Rivka would have
done) cut 3inch circles of dough. In the middle of each circle, put about
One half teaspoon of filling: jam, chocolate chips, or even canned pie filling.
Pinch the sides of the circle up, making a triangular enclosure, and
leaving the top slightly open so that you can see the filling. Just make
sure that the corners are firmly pinched so that the jam doesn't leak out
the sides.

Makes about 4 dozen delicious hamantaschen.
